Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 26



[The response is overwhelming.]

Jenny’s voice comes from over the phone.

Lennok was lying helplessly in the middle of the studio room listening to her.

As soon as I felt like I had overdone myself I didn’t even stop by the bar and went straight home to rest.

At times like this it would be nice if he could take the 100 million elixir one more time… Unfortunately the only money left in his wallet was the 20 million cells he received as an advance payment for this request.

[It seems that Paul Ackerman’s funds were considerably greater than expected. From the perspective of those who received investment money from him the money line was cut off overnight.]

Beyond the voice an unknown echo said to be used to prevent eavesdropping leaks out.

Jenny’s opinion was that if you must talk about work on your cell phone such a safety device is absolutely necessary.

Lennok didn’t understand what she was saying about how he could prevent eavesdropping just by playing background music like this but he had no choice but to do it.

[Of course the fact that he messed with Juice Master’s subordinate may have played a role to some extent but the drug lord wouldn’t be moved by something like this so the strange atmosphere currently flowing in Area 48 may be due to this.]

“Did Dyke say anything else?”

Although it only happened overnight it was an incredibly eventful event.

Two people died one ran away and one hit the back of the head.

If it weren’t for Lennok there wouldn’t have been such a failure.

It wouldn’t be strange at all if an angry Paul Ackerman would turn around and bother Dyke Corporation.

In this situation if Dyke Corporation is planning to wash its mouth by only giving 20 million cells as a success fee Lennok has no choice but to think differently.

Lennok asked recalling the drone camera that was captured at that time and Jenny answered immediately.

[I already received a long message apologizing for what happened during this operation. It’s going to be hot over there too. He asked me to visit the headquarters one more time.]

“What do you think?”

[It’s better to ignore it.]

Lennok smiled faintly at the answer he liked.

[I don’t know how they saw this ground and stepped in but it’s strange to plan a strategy like this and expect cooperation in the future. It is not too late to move after checking the additional compensation offered over there.]

“How much can we take?”

Considering that Lennok somehow managed to turn the operation into a success by resolving the betrayal of one of the team members directly airlifted from Panoa the stakes for Lennok are high.

Since it was revealed that proper testing was not conducted when selecting team members it was meaningless to even discuss collaboration in this state.

If there is no clear feedback in this area there is no need to conduct any further transactions. No you shouldn’t have done it at all.

[They probably know that fact well so they probably won’t just say goodbye. No matter how small it is I think I can extract a lot of money.]

“I hope so…”

Lennok responded by burying his face deeply into the pillow.

Since I bought a new product after completely replacing the bedding the other day there was still an unfamiliar fiber smell.

[……It looks like you really had a hard time this time.]

Although she had already heard an explanation from Lennok once the sight of Lennok being tired seemed more real to her than the words about who betrayed and who killed who.

It was only natural that Lennok had never been shown to be having a hard time.

In the first place Lennok never told anyone that his body was weak.

My phone call with her today was the result of a calculation to allow her to extract as much as possible from her transaction with Dyke while being somewhat condescending.

“I’m a little tired.”

[Well that’s what being a freelancer is like. Sometimes you can’t help it. Still if you’re in pain at least talk to Jordan. I heard that I used a scalpel in the past.]

“…That’s a bit surprising. “Was Jordan a doctor?”

[I heard they haven’t officially issued a license but if they say it themselves they probably aren’t quacks. I don’t know the details either.]

“……..”

Now that I think about it I remember that when Lennoch first brought Taylor Evans’ body to me he noticed something strange just by looking at the body in the sack.

At the time I thought he was just a person with a lot of talent and passed it over but when I thought about him as a doctor there were parts that made more sense.

“When I get a chance later.”

[Are you saying you won’t accept it?]

Lennok who ignored Jenny’s harsh criticism hung up the phone and buried himself in the bedding.

“Keu…..”

My skin is still bluish from the bruises on my stomach.

First I bought something similar to ointment and applied it but it seemed difficult to expect the recovery to speed up significantly.

Lennok was lost in thought as he lay down careful not to let his stomach touch the floor.

‘It would be better to refrain from attempting to overcome the situation in this way from now on.’

It was a reckless choice to use the recoil of the shotgun as a booster to escape because the shield was in danger of being shattered.

Especially considering that after the effects of the medicine wore off I couldn’t eat and groaned for almost a day.

I had prepared some countermeasures in case the shield was pierced but at that time not only did the shield break but I almost got buried in the ground so I couldn’t use it.

Of course considering Lennok’s combat thinking ability it was highly likely that it was the most rational decision in the situation… but the rationality of throwing one’s body away was not necessary for Lennok.

The most important thing is to somehow get this weak body back on track.

“……..”

After that Lennok who had been thinking about the usefulness of the shield for a while sighed and straightened his posture.

Let’s leave our worries for later.

Anyway even after my body returned to normal I had plenty of time to think.

For now as usual he was going to do what he had to do while he rested.

Paaah!

Expand magical power in all directions and unleash magic in both hands.

I’m so tired…!!

A blue electric current bouncing in my hand.

Lightning series common magic [Lightning Bound].

Until now he had simply concentrated on embodying this flow in his hand and hitting the opponent… Lennok concentrated his mind and very slowly moved his magic power to stop the fluttering current strands one by one.

Phag… crackle…

With extremely delicate magical power it limits the scope of lightning activity and stops the flow.

Lennok who checked the current that had solidified between his fingers as if time had stopped pulled out the magic development pattern inherent in the current.

Woooo!!

A magic circle suddenly pops out in the air and at the same time the bolt magic flowing in my hand disappears.

Just as we had done in the past at the factory we succeeded in extracting the magic circle formula from bolt magic backwards.

“hmm….”

Lennok who was looking at the magic circle slowly rotating in the air and the pattern of magical energy flowing between it took a notepad lying nearby and began to write something down.

The handwriting is crooked because I used the pen while lying down but it doesn’t matter.

In any case Lennok’s pen skills were poor and he was naturally bad at writing so it wasn’t much of a difference.

“Higher horsepower three times. Rotate seven times. Compression twice… Do I have to draw the pattern separately?”

While muttering without taking my eyes off the magic circle I scribble letters and numbers that I cannot read on my own.

In his recent personal research Lennok has been concentrating on breaking down the common magic used and quantifying it according to his own standards.

In fact modifying common magic itself is not that difficult for Lennok.

It is possible to refine the magic you already know to be more efficient but reducing its efficiency while increasing the capacity of the magic itself is a completely different problem.

The current research aims to go one step further.

It is possible to simply increase the power of [Thunder Calling].

All you have to do is recklessly apply magical power to expand the range and firepower.

However Lennok was not satisfied with that and was thinking about ways to drastically increase power while reducing magical power consumption.

It would be the icing on the cake if we could remove the omen just before casting which is a drawback of lightning-type magic… but it is not an easy task.

The border that Lennok is worried about right now was one of the gateways from common magic to unique magic.

‘After all someday I might have to create magic on my own.’

Lennok was not a fool and he was already keenly aware of how difficult and convoluted it was to obtain the original magic system.

This is not something that can be done simply by having money or accepting difficult requests.

Unless you gain more fame more power and more connections than you do now you won’t even be given the opportunity to see such treasures.

It was not a matter of choice for Lennok to rise further from this bottom.

Head upward until you can get the item you want.

That was all Lennok could do.

‘It’s not like we can make groundbreaking improvements right now.’

It is possible to refine the magic you already know to be more efficient but reducing its efficiency while increasing the capacity of the magic itself is a completely different problem.

To put it bluntly it was truly like creating a new magic.

However if it becomes difficult to obtain the unique magic system or if only items that do not meet Lennok’s standards are available.

At that time you might really have to put your all into this work.

Rather than simply relying on sense or talent analysis based on theory may actually be helpful.

Since we cannot ignore such a possibility we are gathering data like this whenever we have time.

In fact the only source of public magic data was Lennok himself.

“…….”

It’s frustrating and at a loss but what can you do?

It was the path he chose and what he wanted to do.

In the gradually darkening room only a faint magical light shines.

The light that illuminated Lennok’s face without him noticing the passage of time stayed by his side without going out for a long time.

As if it contained hope that he never gave up.
